15th The day being very calm I with many more lay down to
upon the [Dayke?] to have a chatt about some of our previous transactions.
And after talking we fell into a sort of slumber, I saw through my
Sleep a lovely femile coming riding upon the tope of the white waves, in
front of a fearful gall, which was rapidly aproaching our [gang?] Bark. She
had a mile upon her lips, + playing with her locks, who was in yallow as the
Marygoulls, + hung in ringlates over her neck + bare shoulders down to her
west, she came close to the side of the ship and looked pleasently upon
the crowd who was making all preporations for the storm, yet now
could [desaress?] her but the mass who saw + heard her transparently
through his sleep, she called to me why do you Sleep you man, dount you
fear Neptune, in his anger, I replied, No, Neptune never give me any
reason to fear him + I have traspassed his watrie regons very oft.
I admire your faith, she said, + with a smile said do you admire his
daughter Miss Neptune. I do was my replie, but alase your
Sex has cost me many a bitter pang of disapointement, she
replied, your sorrows shall be few, + your dangers also
